[DOCS] Clarify whether Recently denied approval is one-time or persistent

Review denials — /permissions > Auto mode > Recently denied
Current Documentation
In Claude Code CLI 2.1.274, I could not determine from the “Review denials” documentation whether approving an action in /permissions > Auto mode > Recently denied grants one-time permission or creates a persistent permission rule.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Please clarify:
- Does pressing Enter to approve a recently denied action authorize only that execution, or save a persistent rule?
- If a rule is saved, where is it stored and how narrowly does it match future commands?
- How can users inspect the full command and approval scope before confirming?
- How can users explicitly grant one-time approval?
The interface should clearly distinguish one-time approval from persistent permission before confirmation.
Observed denial labels: “Security Weaken” and “Auto-Mode Bypass”. I have not confirmed whether approval creates a persistent rule; this report requests clarification.
Suggested Improvement
Document the exact scope of approval in Recently denied: whether it authorizes one execution or saves a persistent rule. Explain how to inspect the full action before approval and how to review or revoke any saved rule. Include an example of granting one-time approval while keeping existing protections enabled.
